Fitness Boot Camps are sweeping the US

One exercise sensation that had its start lately is the fitness boot camp. Inspired by our soldiers planning before going off to fight, boot camp exercise programs for civilians are poping up everywhere in the country. Some of these boot camps are militaristic, lead by drill sergeants in fatigues shouting orders, while other camps tend to be unthreatening and motivating, lead by inspirational group exercise instructors.

Boot camp exercise classes vary in approach, according to the company and teacher. But typically a bootcamper will likely to be given a physical test at the beginning of a camp, to assess fitness level. Then bootcampers will meet outside, oftenheld in a park, beach, or river promenade, for an hour, usually 2-5 times per week for 3-4 weeks. Fitness boot camps definitely encompass all the mandatory elements to truly motivate most people. Typically there will always be different fitness levels in the class, so bootcampers dont feel alone nor left behind, yet feel inspired to improve by being with the bootcampers that are more fit than themselves.

During the boot camp, attendees can get to perform moving physical exercises for a stretch warm-up accompanied by interval training which switches back-and-forth between aerobic and strength workouts. Cardiovascular workout are used to get the heart rate up and include movement workouts such as running, walking lunges, step-ups on benches, sit-ups, mountain climbers, etc. Strength training will include push-ups, triceps dips, holding core position, etc. At the end of the 3-4 weeks, the bootcamper is given another physical test to measure fitness growth.

Boot camps are furnishing participants with physical and mental challenge as well as camaraderie, which are all very effective and cannot be found in the gym.
